In a sport where sponsors are tougher and tougher to come by, Hendrick Motorsports (HMS) has found one that wants to expand its involvement. Great Clips will be appearing on Kasey Kahne’s No. 5 Chevrolet three times this season. The sponsor also plays a role on the Nationwide team of JR Motorsports, as well as, on the No. 5 car.

In 2014, Great Clips plans to expand its involvement with Hendrick Motorsports. Fox Sports first reported this week that Great Clips will be the primary sponsor of the No. 5 team for ten races in 2014. The report has not been confirmed by Great Clips or HMS at this time. Continue reading →

The longest race of the season had some of the most bizarre events unfold throughout the night. It started out with a cable falling from the sky (actually a camera) and then the full-moon implemented a series of accidents towards the end of the race. Once the smoke settled, Kevin Harvick was standing in victory lane for the second time in the Coca Cola 600. This race always features a twist of events around the 500 mile mark and Sunday night’s event didn’t disappoint in that category. The action was all-over the track throughout the night and each occurrence in the race will be making headlines in the week to come. Continue reading →

Endurance, stamina, and focus will be tested on Sunday night in the longest and most grueling race of the year, the Coca Cola 600. An extra hundred miles of racing can change the course of an event and in years past, it hasn’t always mattered what you did in the first 500 miles, but what you did in the final one-hundred. This race is NASCAR’s answer to a marathon and the two events share a lot of similar aspects. A go for broke attitude won’t win any driver this race, what will, is how a driver endures all 600 miles, spanning from daylight to darkness in the longest night of motorsports. Continue reading →
